You mean a Strut Tower Brace (STB)...and yes, it's a good investment.

allight.. i am gunna be brutaly honest..
IMO STB's are kinda a waste of money if you are looking for better handaling..
I noticed a difference of zero when i got mine..
The only reason i keep it on there is because it looks pretty.. and it makes the front of the car a little stronger..<hr></blockquote>
I agree fully. A 2-point brace does almost nothing except add more weight on the front end. A 3-point brace will help more since it stiffens up the front better.
If you want a "big" handling difference, your best bet is shocks and maybe springs. Tires help A LOT too.

They really mean a front "Shock Tower Brace" since there are NO struts on a 4th generation F-body.Robert - owner www.FirebirdV6.com "Mid-life crisis? I'm way beyond that!"
